Rice basmati prices firmed up by Rs 100 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today on scattered buying support from stockists and retailers.
Other grains, after moving in a tight range in limited deals, settled at last levels.
Traders said some buying by stockists and retailers against restricted supplies from producing regions led to rise in rice basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati common edged up by Rs 100 to Rs 5,400-5,500 per quintal.
